8 bed detached house for sale

Pennance Road, Falmouth TR11

The property


Thought to have been built around 1905 as an Edwardian gentleman’s residence this very large property was so well located and with so much accommodation it became a guest house. Our vendor has extended and improved the property over their ownership and now retirement nears they are more than happy to sell as an on-going business and accounts are available to any potential purchaser. The other option is possibly a very large or multi-generational family living. With many families now deciding to “chip in together” this may be the perfect opportunity to become home to someone wishing to take care of parents, grandparents or adult children. At 4,000 square feet this property is the size of 3 or 4 modern family homes. Change of use would obviously have to be applied for and our vendors are willing to go down that route should the buyer want it as a family home once more. There are currently 8 en-suite bedrooms and 6 reception rooms but on inspection you will soon see that changing little will make this into a lovely home. The gardens are of a good size and of course there is ample parking.
